title: Orbital cysticercosis--an ultrasonic diagnosis.
abstract: Ocular cysticercosis, a platyhelminth infection, involves various ocular and adnexal sites. Orbital cysticercosis is a relatively rare site of presentation. We illustrate that this parasitic cyst, when present in the orbit, mimics an orbital pseudotumour. We have used ultrasound as an effective pre-operative diagnostic modality.
